Hello

I am thinking I will start making my entries a little more interesting then just meaningless posts and images. I was thinking I'd start WAY back at the beginning. As a kid. How did I get to be how I am? To draw this way? What kind of life experiences shaped me into the cliche eccentric anti-social artist?

You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Banana Paintings

"On a traffice light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the hell did you get that banana at..."

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'"

Bucket

I would have to say this was my toughest yet. All the shades of gray, changes of fur direction, and so on. It took three tries to get it right! I also thought I'd start including the photos I'm working from. When the client allows it that is.
